Tomcat and global servlets

[billsutton]

I am moving from jserv to plesk/tomcat.
I need to install a number of servlets so they are available to all virtual domains using virtdomain.com/servlets/MyGlobalServlet.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have found one way to do it. Would appreciate any comments.

I put my servlets into /var/tomcat4/shared/classes.
On each domain I upload (using Plesk tomcat interface) a simple war file, servlets.war, containing only one file WEB-INF/web.xml.
This file contains -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<display-name>My global servlets</display-name>
<description>
My global servlets.
</description>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I am still testing this idea.
